....one of its slices. Slicing is attractive as a basis for measurement because it captures the tracing behaviour observed in psychological studies of programmers [51, 11] This would appear to make slice based metrics particularly sensitive to the conceptual effort required during comprehension [17, 25] and maintenance activities [10, 21] Definition 3.1 (Backward Slice) A slice of a program p, at a line number n, with respect to a set of variables K, is a program p 0 , constructed by deleting certain commands from p. The commands which may be deleted are those which can have no effect upon ....

....The paper also goes some way towards a unification of previous, apparently different, but related, approaches to slicing in which the process of command deletion remains invariant while the semantic projections preserved during the command deletion process vary. 1 Introduction Many authors [36, 17, 12, 11, 20] have suggested that program slices and their automated computation are helpful to developers and maintainers faced with the problem of understanding programs. Slicing is helpful in program comprehension because a slice is a simplified version of the original program, constructed with a The ....
